Hey All! Watching the Panthers and Caps go big bodies has me wondering if we can really compete in the next two years and keep Auston!
We don’t have the assets to get Zack Wierenski.

Therefore I wonder if this would work:

To Utah - William Nylander and a 4th round pick (2026)

To Tor - Ethan Belchetz, Lawson Crouse and Terrell Goldsmith

Frees up more cap space and gets more big bodies to play right away.

Adds about 5 million in space after signing Belchetz.

Keep Knies.

Trade - Reilly, Carlo and OEL.
Acquire - Adin Hill (Goalie)
Sign - Jamie Oleksiak (2yrs), Mason Marchment (3 years), Boone Jenner (3 years), Braden Schneider (3 years) and Mario Ferraro (5 years).

Big bodies don’t equal a Stanley Cup.

I would not be to worried about 2 teams heading towards being bigger. There are still 29 other teams we have to play and get points from. We can't be worried about 2 teams. If around trade deadline it looks like we could be on a collision course with one of them, if we are a playoff condtending team then we might address it with 1 or two select moves.

But don't base your season around it.

Sorry Cujo, but the return on Nylander is ridiculously low! ?? Braden Schneider is an RFA so you’d have to trade for him! Big is great but you just made the Leafs both the slowest and biggest risk for injuries team in the league! ??‍♂️
